Netflix’s latest miniseries, Something Very Bad Is Going to Happen, promises viewers a gripping plot twist that is bound to leave them on the edge of their seats. What exactly is this surprising revelation?
Before its release on Thursday, March 26, Netflix hinted at the premise: an engaged couple finds their wedding plans abruptly disrupted by unforeseen events. The intriguing synopsis sets the stage: “Rachel and Nicky are engaged to be married in a week. However, before they can say ‘I do,’ an unexpected catastrophe threatens to derail everything.”
The series boasts an impressive ensemble cast, featuring Camila Morrone and Adam DiMarco in the lead roles, with Gus Birney, Karla Crome, and Sawyer Fraser adding depth to the narrative. The supporting cast includes seasoned actors such as Jeff Wilbusch, Ted Levine, Jennifer Jason Leigh, Victoria Pedretti, Josh Hamilton, and Logan Miller.
This new series promises to be an emotional roller-coaster, reminiscent of the dramatic turns seen in other popular shows. Audiences are no strangers to heart-wrenching moments, as seen with iconic couples like Riverdale’s Cheryl and Toni, or Nancy and Ace from Nancy Drew, who have endured their share of heartache and shocking developments. With gripping storytelling and complex characters, Something Very Bad Is Going to Happen aims to captivate viewers with its intense narrative and unexpected twists.
An emotional roller-coaster. From Riverdale‘s Cheryl and Toni to Nancy Drew‘s Nancy and Ace, fans have watched their favorite couples break hearts with some devastating splits. Riverdale, which premiered in 2017, originally introduced Cheryl (Madelaine Petsch) as a grieving sister trying to deal with the death of her twin brother Jason (Trevor Stines). After striking […]
It takes half of the season for Rachel (Morrone) to discover that her family is cursed. She must marry her soulmate by sundown on her wedding day but if Nicky (DiMarco) isn’t The One, then she will die. If he is, she will live — or, if she chooses not to go through with the wedding, she will die and the curse will transfer to Nicky and his family.
The Witness (Zlatko Burić) is an immortal being who tries to warn Rachel after he leaves his wife at the altar and is cursed himself. Rachel ultimately tries to say “I do” to Nicky but he changes his mind. He agrees to the wedding — but then she backs out last minute.
In the series finale, members of Nicky’s family start bleeding out as a consequence. Rachel bleeds as well because she doesn’t actually believe in her and Nicky — who survives because he knows Rachel is his soulmate.
Rachel goes outside to die, except in a shocking twist, she instead trades places with Witness and is now in charge of watching over Nicky’s family to make sure they marry their soulmates — or else.
“There’s a difference between having a lot of love and someone being your person,” Morrone, 28, told Tudum this month about the ending. “Rachel’s person would wholeheartedly understand her, believe her neuroticism and skepticism, and hold space for her. … Nicky loves her and wants to, but he doesn’t actually understand.”
Some of the most shocking TV moments of 2025 — including baby twists and secret husband reveals — came from shows such as Ginny and Georgia, Sullivan’s Crossing, The Summer I Turned Pretty, The Hunting Wives and more. The Hunting Wives won audiences over as one of several book to screen adaptations. But it was […]
Creator Haley Z. Boston also broke down the conclusion.
“That [ending] scene is one of my favorite scenes in the whole show,” Boston shared. “I remember thinking, ‘How do I close these characters out?’ The show is about a breakup, ultimately. After you break up, there’s that moment of logistics. … At this point, Rachel is exhausted, and she’s just trying to get out of there. It felt like the perfect ending for them.”
She concluded: “Ultimately, I liked this idea of a death and a rebirth, and in order to get the rebirth, it felt natural that there was a mythological answer. [Rachel] has the curse, so she’s not off the hook, she has to be careful if she ever wants to get married and who she chooses.”
